Savinelli: Camouflage Rusticated Black (642) (6mm) Tobacco Pipe

Italian pipe making design is often marked by disparate proportions between the bowl and shank, with the former usually dominating a piece’s visual weight. Such an aesthetic is championed throughout Savinelli's portfolio; however, the Italian marque's "642" bent Apple forgoes this shaping style. Instead, this piece features a robust shank that rivals the bowl's plump muscularity. The proportions are hearty and appeal, especially to those who enjoy the signature look of Peterson, particularly their "XL02" bent Apple.

While Savinelli offers a number of series that embody traditional and classic pipe design, with reserved finishes and conservative color palettes, the Italian marque is also known for its playful aesthetics and distinctly creative presentations. The Camouflage line ranks as one of Savinelli's most avant-garde and non-traditional series: The stummels are finished in rather classic treatments — a smooth, mahogany stain or a dark rustication — but each pipe is fitted to an acrylic mouthpiece of mottled green, brown, black, and cream, blending in with foliage and fitting in with the line's moniker and accented by a trim, chrome ring. Such a combination beautifully blends Savinelli's traditional and modern approaches to pipe making, resulting in a pipe that's handsomely rustic and fit for your next outdoor adventure.
